Well... yes. You have a problem with that?

Some apparently contradictions are only semantic clashes:

THE WORD IN BOLD IS RED.
Is the word in bold red, or blue? Depends on how it's described. The word can indeed be "red" and "blue" at the same time. A lot of the "contradictory" descriptions of gods are that kind of problem.

I knew the number was high; didn't know it was millions. (Wow. I'll have to look into the Hindu definition of "god.")
